Masquerade Overpainting

For this piece of art
I picked the model,
I dressed her,
did her makeup
made her hair,
made up the set
and light,
in short: I art directed it, then shot the photos...

And then I overpainted it.

Does this have less artistic value than art done by all those who pretend to never have even glared at a photo at all? Is this even comparable? Does it even matter?

Do you want to know my opinion?

I don't care. Because this is a beautiful artwork and all parts of artistic creation are on me. Who else can say that? So I am very satisfied.

I also found out that it does not matter for high quality book submissions how the artwork was made.

Have a great day!
